However, realtors pay a huge amount of fees (office fees, board fees, MLS fees, GST) plus advertising, websites etc. so it's not really much better. Still, it's what I like to do and as long as I make enough money to be financially secure I'm happy. I'm sure you have similar reasons why you are in the car business.
exactly, and true dat, you do have much more in the expense column then I do for sure, I always knew real estate was better paying, its obvious, and looked into it before car sales, but like you I love cars, trucks, off roaders, low riders, whatever the creation, to each their own I beleive and just find it cool with what new ideas people create..

I have build a couple nice S/C mustangs, one a 97 Cobra running low 11s, then had kids and it went for a Grand prix, GTP, so I bought a 79 GMC S/B, and built it, slammed complete with the crate 350, ahh sold it and started off roading, built a 94 Ford S/B, big, and then went the Jeep way....and OH MY GOD the money I thru in this thing.....but ya, as long as your enjoying life.

Next hoping to move into the bus office, but I dont know, almost be a pay cut, but dont have to beat the lot then. But I dont really now got a good customer base, anyhow rambling.....
